> Why should it be any different in the US than elsewhere?
I don't know why it should be, but I can tell you from personal experience that it is in fact different. To be sure, the U.S. is moving more towards the African model (to my great dismay) but it's not quite there yet.
> I think you'd agree world B is nicer.
Sure. And I'd like a pony too. But if you want to actually solve problems in the real world you have to deal with reality as it is, not as you would like it to be.
